I would love to list everyone and everything that they have done for us from the flowers, prayers, help at the house and monetary donations but, we would be afraid of missing someone. Thirteen years ago John and I decided to move our family here because we grew up in a small town and remember the connections we felt in the community there. I never would have imagined that the friends, family and community we have here would mean more to us than where we grew up. We are very proud to call Heppner and the surrounding areas home. Thank you again for all your support. We have a long road ahead o f us with Kellie recovering and John starting his journey soon.. .We know we will be fine with the love and support o f this community and our Lord. - The Nelson Family % Wrangler Riding Club schedules Play Day The Wrangler Riding Club will host its first Play Day of the year on April 21 at the Morrow County Fairgrounds beginning at 1 p.m. Membership dues are $45 per family and anyone interested is encouraged to attend.
